Fire Hose
| What NFPA section lists the standard for automotive fire apparatus? | A-NFPA 1901 |
| What two sections of NFPA apply to hose-Standard on fire hose and Standard for fire hose connections? | A-NFPA 1961 and 1963 |
| Types of fire hose couplings What are the most commonly used couplings? | A-Threaded and non-threaded types. |
| Nonthreaded couplings are also referred to as? | A-storz or sexless couplings. |
| What is the portion of the coupling that serves as the point of attachment to the hose? | A-The shank |
| Booster hose normally as couplings with what type of lugs? | A-Recessed lugs. |
| What is the higbee indicator? | A-On the rocker lugs on each half of the coupling there is a small indentation to mark where the higbee cut begins. This indicator aids in matching the male coupling thread to the female coupling thread, which is not readily visible. |
| Water flows through.....but does not flow through....? | A-Appliances but not tools |
| Valves-These valves are used in pumper discharges and gated wyes? | A-Ball valves |
| Valves-This type of valve is used to control the flow from a hydrant? | A-gate valve |
| These valves are used on large pump intakes and incorporate a flat baffle that turns 90 degrees | A-Butterfly valves |
| These valves are used in siamese appliances to allow water to flow in one direction only. They prevent water from flowing out of unused port. | A-clapper valve |
| The most common wildland water thief consists of what inlets and outlets? | A-an 1 1/2 female inlet, 1 1/2 male outlet and on valve controlled 1 inch outlet. |
| Device that facilitates the connection of hoselines of different sizes to provide an uninterrupted flow of extinguishing agent. | A-Fittings |
| Fittings for connecting hose couplings with dissimilar threads but with the same inside diameter | A-adapter |
| Adapter used to attach a smaller hose to a larger hose...the female end has the larger threads, while the male end has the smaller threads. | A-reducer |
| Device attached to the drafting end of a hard intake to keep debris from entering the fire pump. | A-intake strainer |
| Hose clamps should be applied at what distance from the apparatus and where in relating to the coupling? | A-20 feet behind the apparatus and 5 feet from the coupling on the incoming water side. |
| This tool can sometimes be used to strike the lugs to tighten and loosen intake hose couplings | A-rubber mallet |
| Devices that are used to protect fire hose where the hose is subjected to rubbing from vibrations. | A-chafing blocks |
| This roll is the simplest of all hose rolls and starts at one end-usually at the male coupling? | A-straight roll |
| In this type of load the arrangement of fire hose in the hose bed lies on edge with the folds adjacent to each other. | A-accordion load |
| This load is the easiest to load and is better suited to large diameter hose. | A-flat load |
| Finishes for this type of lay are designed to facilitate making a hydrant connection. | A-forward lay |
| Finishes for this type of lay are designed to provide an adequate amount of hose at the scene for initial fire attack. | A-reverse lay |
| This type of load is adaptable for varying widths of hose beds and is often used in transverse beds. | A-preconnected flat load. |
| When advancing hose up a stairway, lay the uncharged hose where in a stairwell? | A-Along the outside wall to keep the stairs as clear as possible and avoid sharp bends and kinks in the hose. |
| On a highrise fire normally crews stop on which floor in order to connect to the standpipe | A-one floor below the fire floor, the exception is an enclosed stairwell....can hook up on the fire floor. |
| Advancing fire hose up a ladder is easier and safer with what type of hoseline? | A-an uncharged hoseline. |
| Controlling a loose hoseline What is the safest way to control a loose line? | A-closing the valve at the pump or hydrant to turn off the flow of water. |
| How many sections of hose should be used to replace any one bad section of hose? | A-two |
| Whenever one firefighter is required to operate a small hose and nozzle, the hoseline should be straight for at least how many feet behind the nozzle? | A-10 feet |
| Whenever a nozzle connected to a large handline is used a minimum of how many firefighters should be used to operate the line? | A-minimum of two and preferable three. |
| Two firefighter method of handling large handlines....where should the backup firefighter be positioned? | A-about 3 feet behind the nozzle operator to serve as an anchor. |
| Preservice tests on fire apparatus or equipment performed at the factory or after delivery to assure the purchaser that the apparaus or equipment meets id specifications? | A-Acceptance testing or proof test |
| Series of tests performed on apparatus and equipment in order to ensure operational readiness of the unit. These test should be performed at least yearly or whenever a piece of apparatus or equipment has undergone extensive repair. | A-Service test |
Which hose deployment tool is used to protect the hose when it is dragged?
Which hose deployment tool is used to protect the hose when it is dragged over sharp corners, such as a window sill? Hose roller.
What valve is used to control the flow of water from a fire hydrant?
Hydrant gate valves are used to throttle the flow of water from a fire hydrant. Specifications: Crank type "speed" handle.
When loading hose into the hose bed on an apparatus hose should be?
Hose should be loaded by laying the hose flat in the hose bed. The hose should never be loaded on edge, with the folds in contact with the bottom of the hose bed. Lay the hose across the bed in alternating layers rather than loading one row of hose all the way to the top of the hose bed.
Which type of hose stream is produced from a smooth bore nozzle?
2. Smooth-bore nozzle: A nozzle that produces a straight stream that is a solid column of water.
